Chapter 261: Chapter 260: 260 Another Investor_1

Greg Jensen didn’t stay long. After making a round, he left with Trey Holmes.

“Boss, where are we headed next?”

“Let’s go to the Wright Clubhouse.”

“Understood, boss.”

Trey Holmes fastened his seatbelt and drove seriously like a professional driver, heading toward the Wright Clubhouse.

Adrian Wright had called to say that another partner in the Jade Stone business had arrived, and a jade exhibition would be held in Jamae City in the next few days, so he asked Greg to come and meet.

Greg agreed readily, after all, he had invested four million, not a small amount, and although he had invested it for Adrian Wright’s sake, it was only right to meet the other investor as well.

When Greg was about to reach the clubhouse, he suddenly received a call from Jay Brent.

“What’s up?”

“Mr. Jensen, I’ve heard that Cindy Harrison might make a move on your girlfriend.”

Greg was taken aback and asked, “Which girlfriend?”

“Do you have many girlfriends?” Jay Brent asked subconsciously; realizing his mistake right after.

Greg’s face darkened as he said coldly, “I have many women, no girlfriends. Give me the direct name.”

Jay Brent felt a chill in his heart and without further delay, he quickly said, “It seems to be Vince Cooper, from Jamae University.

I heard there are two others, seems like they’re her close friends.

Cindy mentioned it to me in passing, asking for my help to bring them over, but she didn’t specify when.”

“Bring the three of them over? All three at once?”

“I don’t know the specifics, but it seems that Ethan Locke is also involved. It’s tricky for me.”

Jay Brent cautiously said, “And I’m thinking, even if I refuse, someone else will do it.

Instead of that, it might be better for me to agree upfront. Even if they really bring them over, I will know the location and can help you rescue them.”

“Hmm, well done. Make sure you let me know before they make their move.”

Greg understood what Jay Brent meant. If it were just Cindy, he could have completely ignored it.

But if Ethan Locke was also involved, Jay Brent would have no choice, not even with ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare go against the Locke family.

Rather than letting someone else take them, it’d be better for Jay Brent to do it, at least then he’d know where they would be taken.

“Ethan Locke, heh, still the same old, nothing new, the same, disgraceful tricks over and over.”

Greg snorted coldly, made a phone call to someone very solid, and told her to stay in the university and not to go out for some time.

Vince Cooper didn’t know what was happening, but she always listened well and didn’t hesitate much before agreeing.

After hanging up, Greg despised the situation, really hoping Cindy would lose her cool and go to Jamae University to snatch Vince Cooper and the others.

That way, she would at least end up behind bars for a few years.

“No more sophisticated strategies?”

Greg sneered and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

The Wright Clubhouse was still the same as always. As he walked in, a hostess immediately came over and led Greg to a private room in the teahouse.

Inside the room sat three people; besides Adrian Wright, there were two middle-aged men, one thin and tall with glasses on his face.

The other was short and plump, his face glowing red, and he wore a gold watch on his wrist, looking very wealthy.

“Come, let me introduce you, this is Greg Jensen, my business partner.”

Adrian Wright pulled Greg forward, pointing to the short and plump middle-aged man, and laughed, “Brother Greg, this here is our other partner, President Cole Barnett.

Next to him is Master Max Milton invited by President Barnett. Not only is Master Milton a top-notch jewelry appraiser, but he’s also a master sculptor, with many of his works having won awards.”

Hearing Adrian Wright’s introduction, Greg quickly went forward and greeted them warmly.

Cole Barnett was rather enthusiastic, shaking hands with Greg Jensen while continuously praising him with phrases like “young and promising.”

Max Milton, standing beside him, was much more reserved, shaking hands briefly and then falling silent.

“Mr. Barnett, may I know how many stones you’ve brought this time?”

A few of them sat down and chatted for a while before Greg Jensen brought up the subject of the Jade Stone.

Cole Barnett glanced at Max Milton and smiled, “This time, we’ve brought a stone worth seven million, one-third of which are ‘semi-gamble’ and the rest are all ‘blind gamble’ materials.”

Seven million?

Greg Jensen’s brows furrowed slightly because the total investment that he and Adrian Wright made was exactly seven million.

Was this a coincidence?

He was somewhat unsure and hesitated before asking, “Where is the merchandise now? Can we go have a look first?”

“This…”

Once again, Cole Barnett looked towards Max Milton.

Max Milton suddenly spoke up, “Mr. Jensen, you seem in such a hurry to see the merchandise. Do you not trust us? If that’s the case, we might as well not do business, and simply return your shares.”

“Hey, Master Wang, don’t be rash, Greg is just asking, he definitely didn’t mean that.”

Adrian Wright winked at Greg Jensen, “Right, Greg?”

Greg Jensen’s expression became stern as he looked seriously at Cole Barnett and then Max Milton, saying indifferently, “No, it’s not that I don’t mean it. I just don’t trust you. So, please refund our money.”

“Greg…”

“Shut up!”

Greg Jensen turned his head and glared at Adrian Wright, who, though slightly confused, obediently closed his mouth.

Upon hearing this, Max Milton was immediately furious and stood up abruptly, saying in a deep voice, “Fine then, in that case, there’s no need to proceed with this deal. Mr. Barnett, let’s go!”

Greg Jensen smirked and pointed towards the door, saying, “There’s the door. If you dare to step out, I’ll make sure you can’t leave Jamae.”

Max Milton’s face darkened again as he asked coldly, “Are you threatening me?”

“I never threaten people because what I say is fact. You can try if you don’t believe me.”

“You…”

Panic flashed across Cole Barnett’s face as he quickly tried to smooth things over with a smile, “Let’s talk this through, everyone here is in business, let’s all make money in harmony.”

As he spoke, he tugged at Max Milton’s sleeve, signaling him to sit down.

Max Milton glared at Greg Jensen, anger etched on his face, then gave a reluctant huff and sat down.

He looked every bit the businessman bearing humiliations for the sake of his career.

Cole Barnett proposed with a smile, “Mr. Jensen, how about this? We did bring a few stones in the car. If you really want to see them, you can take a look first.

But let’s make it clear beforehand, those stones can’t be cut open, I’m saving them for a show stopper.”

“Alright, bring them out for a look then.”

“Master Wang, would you be so kind as to go fetch them?”

Greg Jensen snorted and pointed at Cole Barnett, “You go get them; he stays here.”

“This…” Upon hearing this, Cole Barnett hesitated again.

Greg Jensen’s face turned colder as he asked, “What? Is there a problem?”

“No, I’ll go get them right now.” Cole Barnett wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up to go outside.

Greg Jensen turned to Trey Holmes and said, “Go to the entrance and call two security guards, have them follow him. If he tries to run away, break one of his legs first.”

“Uh, sure, boss.”

Trey Holmes didn’t hesitate, stood up, and walked out.
